I grew up with a thick Australian accent with a drawl I dislike, and have been consciously trying to change it for a while. The problem is I tried to make it sound more American at first but keep getting drawn to speaking “Britishly”. Now it’s a Frankenstein of all 3 accents and I don’t know what to go with.
Some points for both:
▪︎ American accent sounds “cooler”
▪︎ British accent sounds more “proper and elegant”
- Australian accent sounds more “relaxed” (but I dislike this for myself, personally).
It’s it even a real accent. It was made up for rich people to teach their kids from the 30’s-50’s and is based on any real location or culture.
It isn’t real because some people sat down to make it vs it happening by accident?
You only got it because your parents were rich enough to pay a tutor to teach you to use it. It’s not regionally based, it’s essentially the Klingon of American accents.
That didn’t answer my question
